The chronic consistency of Nose UP? Very bad. The "stirring"? Not so much.

Hence my reference to the Horizon. The report condemns the movements, when it was the overall additive result that was the problem.

The results of his manipulation, the excess persistent PITCH was the problem, yet the report "abrupt and excessive" misleads, had he been abrupt and excessive Nose Down, they may have survived.

If you cannot see the nuance, the prejudice, say so. I believe it is there.

Nothing wrong with abrupt, nor excessive, if countered. No harm to the control surfaces, no complaints about the ride, only the attempt to portray the Pilot as clumsy.

What of the Report's mention of "machine" shortcomings, that may have exacerbated the crash's entry? No AoA, Stick invisibility, etc. ?

"It wasn't the airplane that caused this..."
